I know there are so many short films of Buster Keaton that one may be perplexed about which to see first of all. While some of them are extremely hilarious, others make you just smile and chuckle at best (like the mediocre "The Blacksmith"), even if they are nice and smart. "The Electric House" belongs to the first category. I just watched it and I must say it's terrific! It made me laugh more than "One Week", "The Boat" and "Love Nest" combined! It will be cracking you up unstoppably, especially in the second part of the film when Buster's rival returns to revenge and begins screwing up all his smart devices. What was caused by this is just wildly hilarious!
Unfortunately, the print quality is very low, some frames seem to be absent, and there is no soundtrack. I found it with the music score at
classiccinemaonline.com. That version is also 4 min longer!
